The developer behind the game, Square Enix has been launching a lot of games lately, and its latest launch, Deus Ex: The Fall follows the same genre of action and role-playing games. Gamers play the role of Ben Saxon, former mercenary, who is trying to unravel the truth behind a global conspiracy which is threatening his life as well.

There are tons of racing games, but all of them differ in terms of cars or race tracks. Table Top Racing, as the name indicates, offers race tracks on a table, and gamers have to drive miniaturised cars on it. It features interesting gameplays like letting players drive around on a kitchen table.

Unfortunately, the experience of the free game is marred by advertisements which can only be turned off by making an in-app purchase.
